Subject: TIP:PdoxWin:A Small Box of Useful Tools:2001.05.25 Version 1.1 (2000.09.18) edited by Mike Irwin Repost by Mike Irwin: 2001.02.05 Version 1.2 (2001.05.25) edited by Mike Irwin ==================== 0. Introduction ==================== This FAQ addresses a number of small operational problems that people have had over time. While Paradox traditionally offers ways of doing things, it normally doesn't actually package them up into a very usable format. Hence this small bundle of tools ------------------------------- 0.1 Legal Info and Disclaimers ------------------------------- Paradox is a trademark of Corel.

Please preface the subject of your post with the string "PDXWIN FAQ" to alert Team members to the function of the message. Please specify the FAQ name and section number the comment applies to, if any. ============================== 1. General Information ============================== This is a pure Paradox form. It should be usable on all 32-bit versions of Paradox, and might be usable on earlier ones too - you may, however, have to comment out certain parts. It is arranged into six pages of a notebook - Forms, Reports, Tables, Constants, Environment, and Drives. Note that it will attempt to add itself to the PdxLite registry structure and become part of the Tools menu. There is an attachment to this FAQ; a zipped-up form called ToolBox.Exe. This is a Paradox form, last saved in Paradox 9 SP 3. ======== 2. Forms ======== Drop down the drop-list to see all the forms currently in existance on the desktop. You have to do this each time, as it enumerates the list when you click on the list. You can elect to Show a hidden form, Close a form (Show it first), and, when visible, enumerate all the objects on it. This can be interesting, because you see how the noise names change and also how the things like tableFrames expand into actual objects. ========== 3. Reports ========== Drop down the drop-list to see all the Reports currently in existance on the desktop. You have to do this each time, as it enumerates the list when you click on the list. You can elect to Show a hidden Report, Close a Report (Show it first), and, when visible, enumerate all the objects on it. This can be interesting, because you see how the noise names change and also how the things like tableFrames expand into actual objects. ========== 4. Tables ========== Select an alias from the list, and then a table from the list in that alias. Give the password if you will need it. You can enumerate the fields, or enumerate them to the clipboard, like ProView does during Drag 'n' Drop. You can also display a list of the basic structure. ========== 5. Constants ========== Just allows you to see an enumeration of all the Constants. This can be helpful for finding out just what the reason for an event is - you only get the number !! Enumerate all your constants, and then you can either show them all or select one sub-type to show. Display is in a tableView. ========== 6. Environment ========== This lists all the ParadoxEnvironment, accessable by readEnvironmentString(), etc. Clicking on the tab title refreshes the display. ========== 7. Drives ========== This lists all the drives available to Paradox, and their characteristics.toolbox.exe Paradox Community Newsgroups |
